A BIG FISH SToRY.-A few days
since James Holcomb, proprietor of
Sturgill Bar on Snake river, was rid
ing along the bank of the river, when
he saw large sturgeon lying in two
or three feet of water apparently
asleep. The fish's head would bob up
and his tail down, then the tail bob
up and the head down. Jim looked
a long time at the fish and finally the
thought struck him that he wanted
that fish, but the only thing he had to
kill or capture it with was lasso and
plenty of rocks. So he took his rope,
walked quietly into the water and up
behind his 6shship and dropped the
rope over its tail. He did not dare to
tighten on the rope until he had dis
abled the fish; so he took up large
rock and when the head came up he
let the stone go; and he made a splen'
did shot and hit square on the head
and stunned the fish. Then he drew
the fish to the bank, tied it to a tree
and gashed it with his pocket knife
The fish was feet 7 inches long anc
weighed over 500 pounds.-[Weise

ABOUT HYPNOTIsM.

Hypnotism is derived from the
Greek word, hypnos-sleep. An Eng
lish medical practitioner coined the
word, we believe. He wanted some-
thing to express condition resemb-
ling sleep, but which was simply
phenomena of the nervous system.
In explaining his method this doc
tor said: "For instance, take silver
lancet case, or other bright object,
and hold it between the fingers of the
left hand, about foot from the eyes
of the person to be experimental on,
in such a position above the forehead
as to produce the greatest strain on the
eyes compatible with a steady, fixed
stare. The patient must be directed
to rivet his mind on the object at
which he is gazing. His pupils will
first contract, then dilate considerably; :;
and, if after they are dilated, the first
and second fingers of the operators
right hand, extended little separated
are carried from the object to the eyes,
the eyelids will most probably close
with vibratory motion. Afer ten or
6feen minutes have elapsed, it will be
found that the patient retains his arms
and legs in any position in which the
operator places them. 1t will also be
seen that the special senses, excepting
the sight, are at first extremely ex'
alted, as also are the muscular sense
and the sensibility of heat cold; but
after time the exaltation of function
is followed by state of depression
far greater than the torpor of natura
sleep. The patient is now thorough.
, hypnotized. The rigidity of the mus
cles and the profound torpor of thu
nervous system may be instantly re
moved and an opposite condition pro
lduced by directing current of al

Pile, the veteran typo who has been
at work in the Boise City Republic
an Office the past two years, left the
other day for Ketchum, and that this
will be the first ride he ever had on q
train, after having passed eighty-four
mile-stones in life. Pile has been
keeping out of the way of railroads
all his life. and frequently swore,
when typo in the WORLD Office,
that "by the eternal gods Of Ancient
Greece he would never look upon
the iron horse or cross railroad
track. He was born in Kentucky,
travelled all through the Middle,
Southern and Western States, and
made it his business to keep ahead Of
railroads. When the people began
to talk railroad in the Blue Grass
and Bourbon State he few to Indi-

al years in Vincennes, until the con-
struction of railroads drove him

peated itself, and he few from there

to his old trade-type-sticking. The
Missourians finally caught the rail-
road fever, and Jim threw down his
stick in 1849 and stampeded for Cal
ifornia. There he thought he would,
for all time, be out of reach of the
roaring animal with the iron lungs
and burning breath of fire and steam,
and for many years he dug for gold
and slung type in peace. But finally
the same old story over again. In
1864 he sailed out for Idaho, and all
these years he has been boasting, as
he kept time with the click of type
in the 'Nstick, that he had at last reach
ed a haven of safety, where the weary
are at rest and the iron horse will new.

easy, and was filled with fear and
trembling. He knew not where to fee

'sThe Nampa Branch completely

forced to make an unconditional sur.

taken him in. Alas for poor old "Uncle
JIM" He has gone over to sling type
in the Ketchum Keystone Office. Hi

TINE Latest MohhOh hove
Delegate F. T. Dubois was inter-
viewed by representative oR the
Blackfoot Reporter. lust sfter his re-
turn to Idaho, and ssked TO give his
opinion Of the movement Of the Nor
mons Of Utah to secure statehood.
He said:
SThe Mormons have been 20 hard
pressed for the last three years that it
was telling feasfully, and they could
not stand the strain. They have taken
up the statehood ides and framed their
peculiar constitution as ! relief. No
one at Ill familiar with their methods
believes they are in earnest in wish
ing to destroy polygamy. They aim to
create that impression in the East and
in Congress. Even If they are in ear
nest they should be put on probation
for Eve or six years. When they have
shown BY their acts that they want :
complete separation Of church and
state. and polypamy exterminated,
they will be admitted As . State. Mere
professions, empty words and ambigu-
GUS sentences will not Offset their
steady and consistent practices for
years. Every one knows that should
they be admitted to statehood, under
. constitution prohibiting polygamy
and church rule in temporal affairs,
they could make such prohibition :
dead letter from the start AL who
know them fully understand that such
would be their course. The entire
scheme is . reflection on the intelli-
gence of the American people. There
is nothing now to prevent the polyg-
amists at present under arrest and to
be arrested from coming into court,
pleading guilty, and promising to obey
the laws in the future, thus escaping
punishment without censure from
church authorities, and should think
they would pursue that course. !

Idaho can and will take the idaho
Test Oath at the next election, on the
ground that they do not belong to an
organization which teaches or encour-
ages polygamy, bigamy, or unlawful
cohabitation.' They must make some
pretense of consistency, to bolster uT
their constitution, and escape impris'
onment in Utah and Idaho; and vot.
ing, holding Office and sitting on jur
les in Idaho offers the most practica
inducement for them to accept ths
constitution with seeming serious.

SALMON CITY RECORDERS: 1t is
very unfortunate state of affairs when
the people of city, state or nation
ask themselves the question, "Does
anarchy prevail?" The newspapers
tell US that Judge Buck has discharg-
ed several criminals, his reason being
that the old laws of Idaho were abol.
ished June 18th, aud no new ones
have been supplied to take their
place. 1t may be that his honor has
made such decision. If SO, we shall
have to class him as purely code
lawyer, one who has had no occasion
to read Blackstone, Kent, Stevens,
Story, or other authors who have
written upon the elementary princi-
Piles of law. When such authors tell
us that no law goes into effect until
published, it is safe to say that the
old laws of Idaho are in force until
the new ones are distributed. The
very provision designating the 18th
day of June as the date when the new
laws should take effect, has not been
published and therefore imperative.
The courts must hold this to be the
law from the necessity of the case
otherwise no crime committed be.
tween the 18th day of June to the
time of the distribution of the laws
could be punished. Sometimes courts
strain point where it conduces te
the we'll being of the community, but
in this case we see no occasion.

OLD TREEs.-Says the Toronto
Globe: The oldest tree on record in
Europe is asserted to be the Cypress
of Somna, in Lombardy, Italy. This
tree is believed to have been In exis-
tence at the time of Julius Caesar, for
ty-two years before Christ, and is
therefore over nineteen hundred years
old. 1t is one hundred and ninety
six feet in height, and twenty feet in
circumference at one foot from the
ground. Napoleon, when laying down
his plan for the great road over the
Simplon, diverged from a straight
